That cannot happen in the US. We pay at the pump. At least I do.
Can you clarify that? It looked like a self-service gas station in the video. He had already opened the trunk and put the nozzle in the filler port when he went inside to station to get them to turn on the gas pump.
I pay at the pump too, but I am aware that many others pay for gas with the last three dollars wadded up in their pocket.
I suppose that it is a blessing to live in "The Biggest Little City in the World", recently named the happiest place to live in US.
Here in the Atlanta Metro area, with way over 6 million people, I actually have pulled up to pump #20 and had to go into the store/station to find ten people in line at the counter and the poor overworked clerk five minutes behind watching the pump controls. All of our pumps have a sign that says pay by card or pay inside. I've seen delivery trucks block the view of the clerk preventing him from seeing that he needs to clear and reset a pump for a customer.
What is it you claim doesn't happen in the US?
